My main take in this area is that reading HN/Reddit actively makes it harder to get the business done. Certain phone games seem way better. My more general hypothesis is that gener…

Me too, but there were some replacements that made me happy because they fixed some irk with google's version. (I think I used Commafeed?) I eventually got away from subscribing to…

I've been doing some of this too. It's great just messaging claude in discord when I want to make a new device's IP static. I also put my mikrotik config sans passwords in (local o…

Regarding the button control, if others are looking for similar, I found that a bluetooth audio control device intended for mounting to motorcycle handlebars (so, water resistant, …

I'm probably a fair bit younger. I came to know the phrase, then (of) him, through the flash animation of the Happatai/Yatta song on Albino Black Sheep in the early 2000s (and thes…

I kind of read this > Fossil fuels are roughly 40% of maritime tonnage, but in the model they represent about half of maritime freight energy because coal, oil, and gas are mostly …

I read this and another half-dozen replies to the parent comment (but not the article, of course...) and was still confused. This comment was the clearest to getting me to understa…

Instead of the value of evaluating a single scan, what about determinations made from evaluating regular deltas between images? As a layperson, I'm mostly familiar with the concept…

Looks like it was the Israelis who put him on trial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eichmann_trial > When he took the stand in his own defense, he portrayed himself as a mid-level f…

They may be looking at the societal level and saying: "I can attempt to teach my kids best practices, but I've learned I sure can't rely on my peers to do the same with their kids.…

Ahh, right, definite blind spot for me! (extra so since I'm hearing impaired)

Do you think the category of people that "consume their news" via primarily reading headlines from aggregators (google/apple mobile built-in "news") is significant or no? (this is …

> You’re making a choice to prioritize profit (or foreign countries) over the country that you benefit from. This is an immoral and short sighted business decision, as you will eve…

I assume the mention of benefits was mostly a polite way to decline giving a number... It might also be more applicable in other industries/roles where benefits are more varied.

In limited experience, I've been unclear if this strategy changes when dealing with companies that actually list the salary range (generally when required per some recent state law…

I recently learned there's a massive gap in collection of fines relating to data handling violations, due to a (not covered) mix of non-collection and going through legal processes…

> If we let property taxes just be whatever they "should" be without penalizing home-buying in the process you could at least know what you'd be paying rather than having to factor…

Ok, but there were also 36+ months prior to covid in Trump's first presidency...

I agree with a bunch of this (I'm almost exclusively doing python and bash; bash is the one I can never remember more than the basics of). I will give the caveat that I historicall…

Can you provide more context to your statement? Are you talking about models in general? Or specific recent models? I'm assuming "one-shot approach" is how you classify the parent …

I think it was 5+ years after first having an ipod touch (i.e. connecting to wifi while out and about) before I encountered the term, and never heard it widely used outside of text…

This was also on top of claims (Jan 2025) that Deepseek showed that "we don't actually need as much GPU, thus NVidia is less needed"; at least it was my impression this was one of …

That seems very lucky of the second city. Let's hope we get lucky with some generous billionaires soon! I don't claim that regulations are simple, and incentives couldn't be create…

I'd default to assuming it's the respective roadmaps for Waymo and Tesla differed on which things to implement when, not training data, that results in the two behaving different.

I wonder if you've heard the expression "hitting your stride". (native english speaker who was a bookworm as a kid; I admittedly had to ask gemini to recall the general phrase that…
